A review by lizziehutchings
The Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald
5.0
Agh!
4.99 stars !!!!!!
"So we beat on, boats against the current, borne back ceaselessly into the past."
Fitzgerald's writing is absolute poetry! I love love love love this book. At first I was really confused with everything that was happening, but I was soon in the clear.
What I loved so much about this book was the whimsy of it. I loved the party settings, and I thought that Nick was such a fantastic narrator. It was super interesting to watch the story of Gatsby and Daisy unfold in the perspective of Gatsby's good friend and neighbor. Because he was a connector and prominent role in the story, but not really like a "main character"...? I don't maybe I'm totally wrong and you're all judging me, but I just thought it was unique and fantastic.
I was gushing over the language of this book for a good 70% of the book for sure. His writing was just so magical, and it perfectly matched the mood of the book, and added to the whimsical feel. I would definitely read another one of F. Scott Fitzgerald's works.
The plot was also awesome, I was pretty*shooketh* for, like, all the twists.
Love.
Have a wonderful evening
